As requested, a chicken update:

Miss Beryl is a very confident and naughty chicken. She frequently jumps a 4' fence into my part of the garden. She has a routine: 1. scratch behind the gooseberry bush (fine); 2. mooch around the lawn (fine); 3. dig in the gravel (fine as long as she's flicking gravel back towards the house and not on to the lawn); 4. trash the flower beds (not fine). She now refuses to let me pick her up and I have to bribe her back to the chicken garden with mealworms. She still lays small cream eggs but makes such a fuss about doing so that you would think she is laying an egg the size of an ostrich's :rotfl:

Miss Gladys is bottom of the pecking order (and still occasionally gets a peck from Miss B and/or Miss H ) She is not as confident as the other 2 newbies but seems happy. She still lays small green eggs, quite often after lights out and I find them in the run the next morning.

Miss LRH is a darling and she still likes cuddles She is also a very greedy chicken and jumps up at the treat bucket before I get a chance to throw them a couple of handfuls. She now lays "proper" size brown eggs.

I'll try to get some photos later.

Miss LRH

So pleased it's not just my chooks that do this. They love announcing to the world that they've laid an egg and see to cluck/crow forever! :rotfl:

What a beautiful morning

Today's plan:

- 5 mile walk (our second from the box of 30 walks)
- trip to Sainsburys to buy the dozen or so items we couldn't get/forgot to buy in Morrisons yesterday and to the poultry centre for more chicken feed
- post DVD back to lovefilm (watched another brilliant French film last night - Untouchable)
- housework
- laundry
- cook dinner for The Dads (and my dad's ladyfriend )

Morning MWC

I watched that a few weeks ago. I didn't know it was subtitled when I ordered it but I thoroughly enjoyed it - glad it wasn't just me! :T
